What an incredible trip to London. These kids are great travelers and were up for the action packed itinerary as we checked the boxes on all major landmarks. It was a lot of history and I hope the information stays in their brain because these memories are for a lifetime.
Bath, England’s Bath Abby. They just don’t make them like they used to- we visited a few abbies and churches.
We enjoyed talking about the old architect colliding with the new architecture. I like these angels “climbing” up the ladder on the side of the church.
